The snow drifted past the window as she watched from the warmth inside. Softly falling upon the windowsill, the snow made the outside world look fresh and new. She sipped her cup of tea, holding the saucer with one hand as she gazed through the window. She had left a much warmer environment to come to a place that offered more beauty, so she could think and get new ideas for her paintings.

She looked out the window at the blue jay as itroosted on the bird feeder thinking how nice it would be to be a bird without aworry. What would it truly be like to fly on the breeze with open wings screechingan alert as one swooped in to steal bits of food? She watched a moment beforeturning back to the kitchen counter to continue cutting vegetables. The knife slippedeasily through the hard carrot as she sliced them for the dinner meal.
